With diabetes being something that surrounds me with family members. I need to start taking care of myself instead of getting fat and not taking care of myself. I have been borderline with my sugar for several years. I have also gained over a 100 lbs the last 7 years. I will lose some but gain twice the amount back. I am sure bigger paychecks equates to more beer and bigger meals. We hardly ever make meals from scratch and do more pickup or eat out. Our schedules don’t help with us working long hours and girls in sports all year around.
Glad to hear that you have done life changers to improve your health and best of luck with your future with your fight with diabetes.
Thanks Chris, I was some what like you with my eating habits and gained a lot of weight eating feel good food but when the doctor ordered me to go to the ER do to developing sugar and heart problems I decided not to be a victim and change my eating habits. It has not been easy giving up foods I have ate all my life but I want to live a little longer and I've seen the ravages that diabetes can do to the body and I made up my mind this isn't going to be me.
It's easier then you think to lose weight and you don't have to live in a gym exercising to do it. Just cut out white floor food products and white potatoes along with high sugar foods especially those with High fructose corn syrup sweeteners, fruit juices, the amount you eat each meal and eat plenty of veggies each day. I also eat all types of meat not just fish and poultry.
A ten minute walk around the house or neighborhood will due for the exercise.
So you see I have done nothing radical to lower my blood sugar.
